Ingredients
- 800 grams ripe tomatoes
- 100 grams blanched almonds
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 15 ml white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 50 grams Serrano ham
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into quarters and remove the core.
Step 2
Place the tomatoes into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 3
Add the blanched almonds to the tomato puree and blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 4
Peel the garlic clove and add it to the mixture along with the white wine vinegar and salt. Blend again until completely integrated.
Step 5
While the blender is on, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. This will help emulsify the mixture, giving it a thick, creamy texture.
Step 6
Taste the salmorejo and adjust the seasoning if necessary with more salt or vinegar.
Step 7
Chill the salmorejo in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
Step 8
While the soup chills, cook the hard-boiled eggs and dice them once cooled.
Step 9
Dice the Serrano ham into small pieces.
Step 10
When ready to serve, ladle the chilled salmorejo into bowls.
Step 11
Top the servings with the diced hard-boiled eggs and Serrano ham. Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil on top for added richness.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy!
